Verplaatsen Mothership
The Verplaatsen mothership is the massive earth-sized spaceship inhabited by the Verplaatsen. During their attack on the Daemoniverse, it was revealed they had billions.
Construction
Though it is not known for sure, it is assumed the the enormous spaceship was somehow built on the Verplaatsen's home planet. If this is true, though, it must have taken an immeasurably long time - generations at least. The ship was built from iron, presumably a common resource on the Verplaatsen home planet.
However, now the Verplaatsen have discovered an easy way of creating nanodiamond, they're building a new shell around the iron, made of nanodiamond. This, combined with the repulsor shields, makes the ship nigh invincible.
Design
The mothership is roughly oval in shape. The colossal engines that propel it through space are at the back, and the sides are enormously overarmed with plasma cannons, massive projectile cannons, enormous versions of flamethrowers and other firearms. There is a strip of windows at the front, allowing the Verplaatsen a view into space. Monitors connected to CCTV cameras show images of space from other parts of the ship.
Travel
The spaceship is moved by the colossal engines near the back end. When moving, the ship spins round, enabling it to be very light and generate its own gravity. To survive impacts with asteroids and other space debris, the ship has repulsor shields. The shields are super-strong, and regenerate in a matter of seconds, allowing it to hold its own against anything; even disintegraters.
Weaponry
External Weaponry
- Plasma Cannons: It has massive plasma cannons that fire super-heated plasma at an incredible speed.
- Projectile Cannons: The enormous projectile cannons can fire pointed or round projectile, ranging in size from five to (in some cases) thirty kilometres long.
- Flame Cannons: These fire enormous projectiles like the projectile cannon. However, the projectiles are criss-crossed with a flammable material, and when the projectile is launched, it passes through a massive, super-hot fire, creating a flaming projectile. Before this, they are sprayed with liquid oxygen so the fire can still burn in space.
- Double Projectile Cannons: These cannons fire two projectiles simultaneously (from different barrels), but are both triggered by the same 'switch'. Projectiles used in these cannons range from one to ten kilometres in length.
- Nuclear Missiles: Verplaatsen motherships carry many enormous nuclear missiles.
- Lasers: Though rarely used, they also have lasers capable of cutting through moons and planets.
- Fighter Chutes: These are not technically weapons. They are long pipes, or tunnels, through which Verplaatsen Fighter Ships can exit the ship and enter space. The entrance to a chute has projectile cannons on either side. These are comparatively small, firing projectiles from lengths of 500m to one kilometre. These cannons are used as deterrants for enemy ships trying to board.
Projectiles are made of nanodiamond. It is rumoured Verplaatsen have found a simple and easy way to create nanodiamond, hence the abundance of it on their ship. It makes the projectiles super-tough and almost unstoppable.
Internal Weaponry
- Gun Turrets: These structures are five metres tall. They have a square base with sides that slope inwards, but not right to the top. On the top is a circular 'head' which can spin 360 degrees. The 'head' has a laser gun concealed inside. They have a range of up to 500m in any unobstructed direction. Also concealed in the head is a scanner. If it locates non-Verplaatsen life forms, it will fire the laser gun; it's basically a security measure.
- Lockdown: If, impossibly, the ship is infiltrated, it is possible to cut of the intruder via a lockdown, which basically shuts all doors to other places. The area will then be drained of oxygen regardless of whether or not there are Verplaatsen in the area, suffocating the infiltrator.
- Electric Lock: Important places are often locked with electric locks. These locks are programmed to deliver an electric shock whenever they are touched by anything other than the key. In addition, if it is touched by something metal, the extreme heat from the shock can meld it onto the lock. This type of lock is also often used on Obruza.
